For reasons I don\'t know,
I\'d rather be judged a fool today
while my damnedest efforts sail astray
than imprison my heart and my soul away.
For reasons I don\'t know.
For reasons I don\'t know,
I\'d rather sit and play a hand
with the smarmiest dude in all the land
and risk my life being short and grand.
For reasons I don\'t know.
For reasons I don\'t know,
I\'d meet the bear charging from her cave
over the safety of the cottage, where I\'d miss the grace
that our God, that raving lunatic, gave.
For reasons I don\'t know.
This pull to chase some star unseen,
to wrestle with life\'s mysteries,
to dissolve contentment in my being,
is a treasure unknown to me.
